Method and device for correcting user's hand tremor in imaging device

Abstract

A method for correcting a user's tremor of an imaging device includes determining intensities of tremors of a plurality of temporary images, comparing the intensities of tremors with a reference value, and selecting a temporary image having an tremor intensity equal to or less than the reference value from the plurality of temporary images.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method for correcting a user's tremor of an imaging device, the method comprising:
 determining intensities of tremors of a plurality of temporary images; 
 comparing the intensities of tremors with a first reference value; and 
 selecting a temporary image, having a tremor intensity equal to or less than the first reference value, from the plurality of temporary images, 
 wherein determining the intensities comprises:
 generating a motion monitoring signal of the imaging device; 
 generating a tremor signal from the motion monitoring signal; and 
 determining an intensity of the tremor signal generated in a time section in which each temporary image is created. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining the intensities, comparing the intensities, and selecting the temporary image are repeatedly performed on the temporary images created during a reference time period. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining the intensities, comparing the intensities, and selecting the temporary image are performed on the temporary images created during a reference time period, and a starting time point and an ending time point of the reference time period are set with reference to a user-instructed time point. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising, when there is no temporary image having a tremor intensity corresponding to the first reference value or less among the plurality of temporary images, selecting a temporary image having a minimum tremor intensity from the plurality of temporary images. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 comparing a total number of the plurality of temporary images with a second reference value; and 
 when the total number of the plurality of temporary images is the second reference value or less, creating temporary images whose total number is equal to a difference between the total number of the plurality of temporary images and the second reference value. 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising storing the selected temporary image in a memory. 
     
     
       7. A method for correcting a user's tremor of an imaging device, the method comprising:
 determining intensities of tremors of a plurality of temporary images; 
 comparing the intensities of tremors; 
 selecting a temporary image, having a minimum tremor intensity, from the plurality of temporary images; and 
 storing the selected temporary image in a memory, 
 wherein determining the intensities comprises:
 generating a motion monitoring signal of the imaging device; 
 generating a tremor signal from the motion monitoring signal; and 
 determining an intensity of the tremor signal generated in a time section in which each temporary image is created. 
 
 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 comparing a total number of the plurality of temporary images with a reference value; and 
 when the total number of the plurality of temporary images is the reference value or less, further creating temporary images whose total number is equal to a difference between the total number of the plurality of temporary images and the reference value. 
 
     
     
       9. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium in which is recorded a program for executing a method for correcting a user's tremor of an imaging device, the method comprising:
 determining intensities of tremors of a plurality of temporary images; 
 comparing the intensities of tremors with a reference value; and 
 selecting a temporary image, having a tremor intensity equal to or less than the reference value, from the plurality of temporary images, 
 wherein determining the intensities comprises:
 generating a motion monitoring signal of the imaging device; 
 generating a tremor signal from the motion monitoring signal; and 
 determining an intensity of the tremor signal generated in a time section in which each temporary image is created. 
 
 
     
     
       10. An imaging device comprising:
 a sensor configured to detects tremors; and 
 a controller configured to determines intensities of the tremors of a plurality of temporary images; 
 compares the intensities of tremors with a reference value; and 
 selects a temporary image, having a tremor intensity equal to or less than the reference value from the plurality of temporary images, 
 wherein determining the intensities comprises:
 generating a motion monitoring signal of the imaging device; 
 generating a tremor signal from the motion monitoring signal; and 
 determining an intensity of the tremor signal generated in a time section in which each temporary image is created.
